does this still record FM? I use my old sansa to record lectures that are broadcast on FM. every SanDisk player I've had will record FM.

Theresa, Yes it records FM perfectly. Easy interface. I didn't know it would do this until you asked, so thanks. I will be using this feature.

Sorry! No it doesn't, sadly... I was hoping it would also! It only records to MP3.

It depends on the format of the Audio book. The "SanDisk Sansa Clip+" supports MP3, WMA, Secure WMA, Audiobooks, Ogg Vorbis, as well as FLAC formats. And I know that the Overdrive audio books, come in MP3, WMA, formats as well.

It says it is, but I don't believe it. There's all sorts of station interference, fading and station overlap. The radio isn't worth buying for a dollar. Get something else. I have Sansas and the FM capability is excellent.

Sandisk has been for me a good value and the right feature set - I've owned several, including the Express, the Fuze and the m200 series. As previously noted, they all have FM radios and the navigation on all of them is pretty much the same thing. Cannot speak to video quality; audio is fine - I've found that for me, the audio is so much affected by the earbuds or earphones used that it makes sense to get good ones.

This one has not been used to record MP3, only voice. According to the manual, recording MP3 is possible.

This MP3 player sucks. I use it for working out and I still hate it. Get a Sansa if you're looking for a cheap MP3 player that will play audiobooks.

This unit records audio, not sure why it says that. It also plays mp3, you can hook an i-pod up to it as well to listen to music. It 100% records audio. For the money, this recorder is worth it. Highly recommended.

Yes. I have had mine for years and it works well with both my Sansa players. I love this equipment. The sound quality is wonderful!

I don't know if it is different but pay $10 more and get sansa mp3 player. This thing will die in a few days ... You will waste your money :(

I think it's great for recording a lecture, It's a voice recorder after all. I mostly use it for music/voice solo recordings and short story recordings, and it works well.

I have the 8gb Sansa Clip, and have found the FM reception to be surprisingly good. I was told by a Best Buy employee that the Fuze has even better reception.

Not so, it would seem. I'm reliably informed that the Sansa will work on Windows 2000 when the player is in UMS/MSC mode. Windows XP is only needed for MTP mode. Seems a bit silly that Sandisk don't mention this, but a couple of people told me they are running 2000 and still using the player.

I listened to podcasts and audiobooks. The Sansa units that I have bought have very little gap between tracks, much less than a second, I would say you would notice it only if looking for it.

No. And the smaller one doesn't have a sd card slot to play either. The larger model plays both sd and usb, but the smaller one is very convenient and has very good sound and fm. Only wish it also had am radio. I don't think the larger one records either.

The player does work fairly well for audio books - when it works. This particular model has a long history of locking up and not being able to be fixed. Also, Sansa tech support is useless.

Thank you for the tip. I just upgraded my firmware and I am very please with the added bookmark feature. The Sansa Clip was a good little player before the upgrade...now it is darn near perfect!
